.To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB THOMSEN JA- COBSEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Metropolitan, in the county of Humboldt, State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in This invention relates to a device or apphance to be ailixed and used on the outer end of carriage and Wagon poles for the purdents while driving and is accomplished by neck-yoke from accidentally slipping ofl the I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the appliance when in place and ready for use; Fig. 2'is a horizontal section of the end of the carriage pole, showing the entire mechanism of the appliance; Figs. 3 and 4 represent the two pieces which, while in place, show the projecting shoulders.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the severalviews.

The blades C (l, with spiral spring between i them, are inserted in slot J in the pole end, and secured by the rivet D. When the eye of the yoke is pulled onover the end of the pole A, the shoulders, or projecting points of j 1 the blades CC are depressed, but spring back to position when the yoke has been drawn up against the collar B. To release the yoke,

C C are depressed by the thumb and finger.

F is a stiff spiral spring which keeps the projecting points or shoulders in place.

E E and H are stops to prevent C C from turning, around in slot J.

G G are eyelets through which rivet D is fastened.

' K K are rests to hold spring F in place.

The object of the invention is to pref accidents on grades or other places by me accidental breaking or unfastening of the tug-s or swingle tree, whereby the pole end is allowed to drop to the ground, thus rendering; the carriage unmanageable. j

W hat l claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A pole-tip comprising blades C C, held in position in slot J by rivet D, spring F and stops E E and H, and designed to be used principally on the ends of carriage and wagon poles.

in testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification 1n the presence of two witnesses.
